Gold Standard Silver 10 oz Bar

Hi all
I am new to this forum and I am finding a lot of good information. I have been a silver stacker for some time now. I have bar that I have been curious about and have found no definative answers. I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge of this bar.
Thank you.
ED
Edit: I am not familiar with posting pictures here, but now I am. Sorry

Presumed to have been produced by Engelhard. They are the same size and shape as the straight-edged bars Engelhard produced - note that the stamped characters and the eight-sided shape also matches the Engelhard bars.

Thank you for your reply. It does look like mine. I have seen that particular bar on the net. I have searched eBay over the years and I have only seen three up for bids and one of them was mine.The latest two were out of the range I wanted to pay. Of course I only paid $188.00 for mine back then.
Thank you.

Yes.
And the Gold Standard Corporation was the Liberty Dollar of it's day.
It's founder was as crazy as Bernie von Nuthouse in more ways than one.
Methinks ol' BvN simply rewrote the GSC saga taking it to that next step.....straight to prison.

I'm glad to see someone else has tired old eyes. Between staring at the computer all day and trying to read dates on coins, my best days are clearly over. Have you changed your thoughts on my silver bar?
Seasons greetings to all!

I'll take your word that it is what it is. That picture still looks like a fake (to me). Every other photo on the thread appears to depict the real thing (to me).
